I think it's called e-paper and e-ink because it wants to mimic ink on paper. Why is this? Ink on paper in books looks like what it does because it has been found to be good for reading. Contrast is one the key properties. I'd argue also that so is lack of glare which is why book paper is rough and diffuse.
